: If you were riding in a spaceship going 1mph LESS that the speed of light, and you walk forward on said ship at 3mph, what would happen to you? Would you end up in an infinite loop because by surpassing the speed of light you would go back in time? Would you just keep walking till you hit a wall?
: Same situation (ship going 1mph less that the speed of light) but this time, the ship fires projectiles from the forward guns.. what happens to the projectiles? Do they go back in time (back into the "clip") do they just achieve infinite mass and do some serious damage?
: I figured that someone on the board would know the answer and be able to explain it in simple terms, as I have no hope of understanding the math.
